Stem Cells and Differentiation Lecture 2 BIOM2208 Joe Rothnagel
Content Asymmetry of cell division Regulation by intrinsic & extrinsic factors Daughter cells/ TA cells identification Extrinsic and intrinsic factors required for stem cell maintenance Culture of stem cells induced pluripotent stem cells
Asymmetric cell division Stem cells are self-renewing. That is after each cell division, one daughter cell retains all the characteristics of the parental cell. STEM CELL STEM CELL (e.g., hematopoletic stem cell) SPECIALIZED CELL (e.g., neuron)
